Some people are clueless
« on: September 29, 2014, 10:21:41 pm »
Just had to query this one. They want £150 quid for buy it now. It's the early version of the animal so it's got the brittle plastic. Spine is also broken on it. I think they have just found it in a skip seen its a Dyson and assumed it's worth something.

Ha dreamers! I see it locally from time to time, dc07's/14's for £130-£140, they never seem to sell!

I agree re the plastics too, every purple one I've had has either been faded or broken, same with the grey & teal/green ones, awful for brittleness!

Tenner here too, and an already smashed animal for £6 for the motor...

In 2010, we got a Malaysian, late model, durable type of DC07 All floors for the bargain price of £3! Just needed a clean cos it wasn't picking up well, LOL and it came with two tools, I think
And £15 and I got a 2007 DC07 Animal with all tools , the filter had plaster dust on it

Just seen this on gumtree. Some greedy sod just down the road from me breaking a green DC04. Scroll down and put a smile on your face.

Scroll down a bit further and there's a really, really tidy DC33! :underchair:

Dreamers, I would never had the cheek to price parts up like that lol. Unless de stijl as collectors will pay for de stijl parts :)
